*Fweeeeee*
The referee's whistle signaled the game's kickoff and the ball was quickly passed back by the Lyon side.
The Lyon side didn't bother playing around too much and launched an attack immediately.
This was a pre-season friendly so the matches were without consequence and the managers were using this period to try new things and get the players used to the tactics they would be using during the season.
Thus, the Lyon side didn't feel the need to play it safe. The Oporto side thought the same as well so this was definitely going to be an interesting match.
With a long pass from Toko Ekambi to Slimani who had rushed forward, they tried to unsettle the Oporto players, but the Oporto players were not the kind to be easily confused by a center forward dashing around like a headless fly.
Slimani however, wasn't trying to dribble past and instead held up play so that his teammates could rush forward.
